2024-2025学年陕西省渭南市大荔县城郊中学高二上学期期中考试英语试卷It’s no secret that fruit is a smart part of a healthy diet. They are likely to be better for you than any other food. But is all fruit created equal? Let’s find out which fruits are the best if you’re looking to lose weight.Apples are a common favorite. They’re the finest snack: filling, juicy, crunchy (易碎的), and easy to take along. Studies have even shown that eating three apples per day can help with weight loss.There are plenty of ways to eat apples: Chow down on a whole apple, add apple pieces to your meal, throw apple balls into a salad, bake some with your chicken, or cook up a low-calorie dessert.Watermelon is low in calories with high water content. This means you can eat two entire cups of watermelon for less than 100 calories and your stomach will feel like you’ve eaten more because the fruit is more than 90 percent water. This way, you’ll avoid higher-calorie foods and satisfy your sweet tooth.Raspberries (树莓) are small but powerful! These berries are low in calories and even lower when you consider that they’re high in indigestible fiber. Raspberries have the highest fiber content of any fruit (1 cup =8g fiber).Grapefruit (葡萄柚) gives you a lot of help for your calorie avoidance. A middle-size grapefruit has only around 80 calories, and like watermelon, it’s more than 90 percent water. Plus, studies have shown that a compound (化合物) in grapefruit could lower blood sugar and lead to weight loss. So enjoy some grapefruit at every chance — press it into your water, throw some into your salad, or use it like lemon to flavor your food. Keep in mind that eating grapefruit with certain medicals could have harmful influences. If you’re on any pr escription (药方), check with your doctor before adding grapefruit to your diet.1. What is the common character of the fruits mentioned in the text?A．Crunchy. B．High in fiber. C．Low in sugar. D．Low in calories.2. Which fruit might cause side effects?A．Apples. B．Watermelon. C．Raspberries. D．Grapefruit.3. Who is grapefruit most suitable for?A．One who has a sweet tooth. B．One who is weak in digestion.C．One who is high in blood sugar. D．One who is travelling outdoors.Here is a record of the discussion about AI (artificial intelligence) conducted by several scientists:Scientist A: I would say that we are quite a long way off developing the AI, though I do think it will happen within the next thirty or forty years. We will probably remain in control of technology and it will help us solve many of the world’s problems. However, no one really knows what will happen if machines become more intelligent than humans. They may help us, ignore us or destroy us. I tend tobelieve AI will have a positive influence on our future lives, but whether that is true will be partly up to us.Scientist B: I have to admit that the potential consequences of creating something that can match or go beyond human intelligence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching computers how to learn on their own. At some point in the near future, their intelligence may well take off and develop at an ever-increasing speed. Human beings evolve biologically very slowly and we would be quickly substituted. In the short term, there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This could mean large-scale poverty and social unrest. In the long term machines might decide the world would be better without humans.Scientist C: I’m a member of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. Forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator stamping on human skulls and think of what’s happening right now: military machines like drones, gun turrets and sentry robots are already being used to kill with very little human input. The next step will be autonomous “murderbots” following orders but finally deciding who to kill on their own. It seems clear to me that this would be extremely dangerous for humans. We need to be very cautious indeed about what we ask machines to do.4. What is Scientist B worried about?A．AI technology will destroy the earth. B．Robots will take the place of humans.C．Computers can’t think by themselves.D．Humans will be unhappy withoutmachines.5. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?A．I launched the campaign to Stop Killer Robots.B．We forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator.C．“Murderbots” will be against humans’ orders.D．“Murderbots” can’t decide by themselves.6. Which statement is CORRECT according to the record?A．The employment will be affected by AI technology in the future.B．Scientist A thinks AI technology will never develop.C．“Murderbots” will follow the orders of their manufacturers in the wars.D．All the three scientists agree that AI technology will benefit human beings.7. Who agree(s) AI has more negative aspects than positive aspects?A．Scientist A. B．Scientists B & C. C．Scientist B. D．Scientists B &A.The cultures of the East and the West are really different from each other a lot. This is because the culture systems are two separate ones on the whole.The origin (起源) of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers — the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was up on the Mesopotamian Plain (美索不达米亚平原) — the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture. Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn’t have much difference from the European culture.At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences. Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic (象形) language while the western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race (种族) differences count as well. But what’s more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the west, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference (干扰) from the other.The differences are everywhere. Th ey are obvious and make people’s ways of thinking and their views of the world different. But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural difference should not be the obstacle (障碍) to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the driving force of our going farther.8. What is the text mainly about?A．The origin of cultures. B．Culture differences.C．Language systems. D．Colorful world.9. Why is the American culture similar to the European culture?A．Both of the two cultures have a very long history.B．They have the same mother rivers as the Chinese culture.C．The early settlers from Britain brought their culture to America.D．Both the British and the American live along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.10. What t he author’s attitude to the differences between the East and the West?A．Cautious B．Positive C．Neutral D．Critical11. Where is the passage most likely from?A．A diary. B．A magazine. C．A novel. D．A guidebook. Imagine being able to go to your local park and pick some tomatoes, potatoes or even bananas to take home for dinner. Sounds too good to be true, right? For residents of Andernach, a German city, it’s not just a Utopian dream —it’s their reality. In 2010, Andernach began its “edible city” project, planting 101 varieties of tomatoes in public green spaces around the city centre. Its 30,000 residents are free to help themselves to whatever grows, as are any other visitors. Every year a new type ofplant is introduced. In 2011, 100 types of beans were planted, while 2012 saw the introduction of 20 onion varieties. The town’s motto (座右铭) is, “Picking is encouraged —help yourself!”It’s a community effort, as local citizens are encouraged to help plant and maintain the gardens. This offers an opportunity to socialize as well as to learn about planting, cultivating and harvesting food. “I often drop by to pick some herbs that I’m missing at home. Everything is easily accessible. There aren’t any fences. You just take what you need. The only thing is you ha ve to be quick once the fruits are ripe or they’ll all be gone!” said a local historian.Andernach may be the first, but it isn’t the only edible city. It’s part of the Edible Cities Network, an EU-funded project connecting green urban food initiatives (倡议) around the world. Other edible cities include Carthage in Tunisia, Havana in Cuba and Šempeter-Vrtojba in Slovenia. In February 2022, the first Edible Cities Network Conference took place. Dr. Ina Säumel, Principal Investigator of the Edible Cities Netwo rk, called it, “a unique opportunity to invite researchers and practitioners (从业人员) of Edible City Solutions to the same table and unite theory with practice”.Ultimately, the Edible Cities Network aims to create “greener, more edible and, above all, more livable cities”. It is a response to the pressures of climate change, and a cause for hope.12. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?A．The process of Andernach’s growth.B．The green food project in Andernach.C．Methods of planting vegetables in Europe.D．T he popularity of Andernach’s city design.13. What is the attitude of the local historian mentioned in paragraph 2 towards the project?A．Doubtful. B．Indifferent.C．Positive. D．Negative.14. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?A．Green urban food has drawn more attention.B．German rural areas will follow the trend too.C．Asia will join the Edible Cities Network soon.D．Edible cities hold meetings on a regular base.15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A．Start a Green Food Campaign NowB．Gain Easy Access to German FoodC．Quick Response to Climate ChangeD．An Incredible “Edible City” InitiativeHow to Read Candidates’ Body Language in an InterviewBody language matters, especially in interviews. 16 Our posture, gestures, movements or facial expressions can shape our reputations. Learning to read body language is about understanding candidates’ motives.Reading body language during interviews can provide valuable insights into a candidate’s personality. 17 Here are some common interview body language signals that you can learn to read.Observe extreme behaviour. A candidate’s harmless action doesn’t mean they won’t fit in well at your company. But be careful about extreme behaviours, like a person constantly checking their phone.18 You can read people’s body language by observing changes in their movements or posture. Imagine, for example, that a candidate suddenly starts tapping their foot. Maybe they feel the interview is taking too long. Or per haps they’re facing an uncomfortable question.Connect the dots. 19 For example, people may cross their arms when they’re cold. But, when you see a candidate crossing their arms, crossing their legs and balling their fists at the same time, prepare yourself for an aggressive (咄咄逼人的) answer.Candidate experience greatly depends on an interviewer’s body language. Positive body language can make candidates relax and open up. Negative body language can spark (引发) defensive and reserved reactions. 20People come into your life for a reason, a season (一段时间) or a lifetime.

I, as a mother, was tired from the anger and her inability to communicate because of her slowed language development.As I accompanied her into the car, I felt desperate. Nothing was right with our world. She’d been born around the same time when the nation was witnessing the birth of another Great Recession. My job and my house had been victims(牺牲品). Then this happened. My child’s language delay(语言发育迟缓)was identified, but doctors struggled to properly help her. I felt like we both needed to be rescued.I returned that afternoon as disenchanted with my little girl as when I left. Walking slowly toward the school’s playground gate, I found her preschool teacher racing to greet me. “You should have seen her today!” His breathy words were supported by excitement. I didn’t interrupt. “See that climber.” He pointed to a wooden piece of playground equipment that looked like a rock wall. I nodded. “Well, every day since she started school, she’s tried and failed to make it to the top.” He took a breath. “And today she did it!”He expressed his joy just as he’d witnessed her conquering Mount Everest! “She cheered and celebrated! I wish I’d recorded it!” His words comforted me. My daughter had conquered her mountain.As she ran toward me. I recognized something I hadn’t before. I saw her perseverance(毅力). I saw her strength. I saw a Hero.Everyday greatness celebrates ordinary people who do unusual things in big and small ways, showing courage, kindness, love and selflessness.

It’s the first such operation of its kind.The team reported that the 57-year-old patient, David Bennett, was recovering well three days after receiving the pig heart. Bennett’s doctors said he was breathing on his own while still connected to a heart-lung machine to help his new heart.Doctors say the next few weeks will be a decisive period to see how Bennett does with the new organ and whether his body begins to reject it. But the operation marks a new step in years of research to find ways to use animal organs for life-saving transplants for humans.Bennett’s son said his father’s heart was failing and he hadn’t been able to get approved for a human heart transplant. So, he agreed to the experimental operation even though he knew there was no guarantee that it would work.Past attempts at pig-to-human transplants have failed because of genetic (基因的)differences that caused organ rejection. To reduce such risk, scientists removed several genes from the donor pig that are linked with organ rejection. They also removed another gene from the animal in an effort to prevent too much growth of pig heart tissue.On the morning of the operation, the transplant team removed the pig heart and placed it into a special device to keep it running until the operation. The transplant was permitted after theuniversity received emergency approval from the US Food and Drug Administration.Dr. Bartley Griffith led the operation. He called it a breakthrough. He said, “At present there are about 110, 000 Americans waiting for an organ transplant. More than 6, 000 patients die each year before getting one. If this works, there will be an endless supply of these organs for patients who are suffering.”8．How was David Bennett three days after the operation?A．He was still unconscious.B．He had great difficulty breathing.C．His new heart couldn’t function well alone.D．His recovery was slower than expected.9．Why did Bennett accept the experimental operation?A．Because he had no other choice.B．Because he was ensured of its safety.C．Because he had no money for a human heart transplant.D．Because he thought it was beneficial to technology progress.10．What’s the purpose of removing several genes from the donor pig?A．To reduce the difficulty of the heart transplant.B．To make the pig heart fit in better with Bennett.C．To improve the health condition of the pig heart.D．To enable the pig heart to keep working after being removed.11．The figures listed in the last paragraph are mainly to show________.A．the deadliness of organ diseases in the USB．the maturity of organ transplants in the USC．the seriousness of organ shortage in the USD．the necessity of organ transplants in the USTrying to imagine fat, white sheep jumping one by one over a fence, is a well-known treatment for sleeplessness. I’ve often wondered just who came up with such a silly suggestion. If the idea is to bore you to sleep, why not count backward? And who decided on sheep? Why not rabbits, horses, frogs or kangaroos? And does it really help you fall asleep? Search online, andyou’ll soon find stories about a study on battling insomnia that put the concept to the test.“In reality, that wasn’t the point of the research,” said senior author Allison Harvey, who conducted the research. Their study wasn’t about counting sheep; it was just about using imagery to fight sleeplessness. In her research 50 people were divided into three groups. The first had no instructions on how to fall asleep, while members of the second were told to distract (分心) themselves from thoughts, worries and concerns in any way they wanted. The third group was instructed to perform an interesting and engaging imagery task, such as creating or remembering a waterfall, a holiday or a summer afternoon in the sun.Those who used imagery reported falling asleep much faster than either of the other two groups, and they rated their thoughts, worries and concerns to be less uncomfortable and painful than people in the distraction or no instruction group.As it happened, two of the study participants in the distraction group did count sheep as a way to fall asleep “and somehow people accepted that, I guess because they thought it was fun,” Harvey said.While she didn’t actually study counting sheep as a way of overcoming sleeplessness and isn’t aware of any other studies to do so, Harvey does have an opinion based on her years as a sleep specialist.“Something as ordinary as counting sheep usually does not do the trick,” she said. “As everyone is different and not one option is going to help every single time, we have worked out a menu of options with people.”12．What does the underlined word “insomnia” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Sleeplessness.B．Illness.C．Distraction.D．Laziness. 13．What can be learned about Allison Harvey’s research?A．Each group consisted of 50 participants.B．The distraction group reported the most benefits.C．Its initial aim was to test the effectiveness of imagery.D．Every participant was given some instructions.14．What does Allison Harvey think of counting sheep for sleep?A．Creative.B．Questionable.C．Practical.D．Traditional. 15．What will the text continue to talk about probably?A．Alternative methods for falling asleep.B．Various strategies to improve people’s health.C．Historical origins of counting sheep for sleep.D．Scientific theories behind counting sheep for sleep.How to Introduce Friends to Other FriendsYou may find that you have two friends that you really want to introduce to each other.16 . If so, you can make an introduction by bringing them together and facilitate a new friendship. Regardless of how you introduce your friends, you will need to remember a few pieces of friendship etiquette (礼仪) to help the friendship blossom and ensure that you and your friends all stay on good terms.Bring your friends together.If you are at a party or some social gathering, bring your two friends together so that they can physically meet each other. 17 , or have one friend come with you while you look for the other one. Regardless, try to take them to a place where you are able to introduce them.Make the necessary introductions.Once you have brought your friends together, introduce them to each other. You can choose to do the introduction and say their names, or let them do the introduction. 18 .Stick around and facilitate (促进) the conversation.19 . Meeting new people can be awkward, so you should stay and keep the conversation from fizzling out (失败). If it slows down, mention other things that your friends have in common.20 .If your friends do not hit it off, you need to move on. You cannot take it personally. It is not your fault that a friendship did not blossom. Sometimes, people, who in theory should get along, simply do not like each other. Do not push it if they do not become friends. No one likes being forced into a relationship.A．Let it go if they do not like each otherB．Spare no effort to boost a new friendshipC．You can have one friend stay put while you track down the other oneD．However, it may be less awkward and more formal if you do the introductionE．You should let them know why you thought they would be friendsF．They may have a lot in common or be in a similar place in lifeG．Once you do the initial introduction, stick around to keep the conversation going二、完形填空Kathy served as a waitress at a restaurant.

I first read this book in high school and really enjoyed it because of its accurate language. If any of you is interested in reading this book and hasn't yet, I highly recommend it.Fire fly Lane By Kristin HannahThis is my favorite book. It is a story about friendship, love and life lessons. The story covers the lives of two best friends, Tully and Kate, from childhood to adulthood. I learned so much about friendship and life. So, read Firefly Lane! You'll laugh, you'll cry, and then you'll share this book to your best friend.Half the Sky By Nicholas KristofFor any person of any age, Half the Sky is a must-read. It describes the struggle of women and the most pressing human rights problems of our time: the common oppression of women and girls.The Little Prince By Antoine de SaintThis children's book is simple.

Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter can really improve people's health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated（忍耐）the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter. 4．According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?A．Laughter is good for healthB．Laughter can make you become old quicklyC．Laughter helps to reduce pain.D．Laughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our body.5．The underlined word "diminishes" in the third paragraph means "____".A．delays B．prevents C．increases D．reduces6．Why do some doctors hold laughter clinics?A．Because they want to earn more money.B．Because they think they will help the patients recover from illnesses.C．Because they want to improve their patients' condition.D．Because they want their patients to practice how to laugh7．What would be the best title for this passage?A．Both laughter and physical exercise are good for healthB．Laughter clinics help patients improve their conditionC．Laughter can reduce the effects of painD．Laughter is the best medicine.阅读理解Popcorn Park Zoo is not like most zoos. It is a very special place.This unusual place was not originally a zoo. At first it was called the Forked River Animal Care Center. The workers there looked after lost or unwanted cats and dogs. Today the center is part of the zoo, but now many other kinds of animals are helped there, too.The changes to the center began in 1977 when a raccoon(浣熊) needed help. One of its front paws(爪子) had been badly hurt. The workers cared for the animal. Finally it was better, but it could not care for itself. The raccoon was allowed to live there. Then a hurt deer was brought there for help. It, too, stayed there after it got well.Once people heard about the wonderful work being done at the center, they began taking all kinds of hurt or homeless animals there. Soon it was no longer just a home for cats and dogs. So many animals were living there that it became more like a zoo.Popcorn Park Zoo got its funny name because many of the animals there like to eat popcorn made without oil or salt. The popcorn is sold there to help make money to care for the animals. People buy the popcorn to feed the animals as a treat.Popcorn Park Zoo now looks after more than 200 kinds of animals. Many of them live freely there. Some of the gentler ones, such as goats, sheep, geese, and deer, walk among the visitors who come to see them. Others are kept in large closed areas almost like their natural homes. All the animals there get care and love.8．Before 1977, the center was a home for ____.A．lost or unwanted cats and dogsB．hurt or homeless raccoons and goatsC．lost or unwanted deer and sheepD．hurt or homeless raccoons and geese9．How did the workers in the center help the raccoon?A．They changed its front paws.B．They cured it and let it live there.C．They sent it back to its home.D．They built another home just for it.10．The popcorn is sold in Popcorn Park Zoo to ____.A．treat the visitors B．reward the workersC．trick the animals D．raise money11．What can we learn about animals in the zoo from the last paragraph?A．They all live in closed areas.B．Some of them can walk out of the zoo freely.C．All of them are taken good care of.D．Some of them have already returned to nature.阅读理解Fu Yuanhui is China's newest sweetheart. The 20-year-old swimmer from Hangzhou won a bronze medal at the recent Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. But it wasn't the medal that charmed people's hearts, it was Fu's honest remarks and bubbly personality.Climbing out of the pool after a semi-final heat, Fu looked tired and out of breath, and not very happy. She thought her time may not have been good enough to make the final. But the reporter told her otherwise. Fu had just swum a personal best! And it was Fu's reaction (反应) to this news that made everyone fall in love with her.Her eyes got big and smiled. "Wow, I'm so fast!" she said. And she joked with the girl reporter that she must have been helped by her "mystical powers." Later, after the final race, it was the same reporter who again surprised Fu by telling her she'd won a bronze medal. "What? Really?" she said, "That's not so bad, then."Fu worked hard to get to the Olympics and her training, she said, "Even though I did not win a gold medal, I surpassed (超过) myself and I am happy with that."12．What kind of medal did Fu Yuanhui win in the Olympic Games in Brazil?A．The gold medal.B．The silver medal.C．The bronze medal.D．None.13．Why didn't Fu Yuanhui feel happy after the semi-final heat at first?A．Because she didn't feel well.B．Because she thought she didn't do well.C．Because she wasn't satisfied with her reaction.D．Because the reporter asked her an unhappy question.14．The third paragraph tells us Fu Yuanhui ____.A．had an expressive faceB．was satisfied with herselfC．thought the game is unfair for herD．was sorry to get the bronze medal15．We can learn from the underlined words that Fu Y uanhui ____.A．thought she had tried her bestB．thought she was lucky enoughC．wanted to thank the reporterD．planned to win the gold medal二、第二部分，阅读理解，第二节(共 5 小题:每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5 分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
